Heart Beats What the Heart Wants

I think: yes, Houston, we have a solution! This one will bring my heart rate down permanently. This is it! And then my heart goes, bwahahahahaha!!!

Sigh.

Heart rate is back up in to the 120s, with a touch of bradycardia this week. With writing and reading after four super-gamma-producing HRV and neurofeedback screens, we brought it down to 110. Still too high though.

I give up.

I think I'll just go lie down on the couch like one of those ancient Romans and dip strawberries into molten chocolate all day long.

Sigh.

Please note: all information on this website is me sharing my own experiences and does not constitute advice.

I write a mix of books and blogs. I set my novels in Toronto, a city of contradictions, ripe with conflict possibilities. My life is one big question mark, ever since I sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (or closed head injury or concussion, whichever moniker is fashionable) in a four-car crash. My writing keeps me grounded; my photography lifts me; my revised memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating The Neurons And Me shares my discoveries. When I’m not writing, I’m hunting for smooth coffee and sensational chocolate.
